One Of A Kind is a concept-album, freely inspired by Stephen King’s novel “The Dead Zone”, composed by 12 tracks of powerful, refined and meticulously crafted sound. All the songs are the result and follow the natural course of a path that began years ago; they develop a great synergy between melody, harmony and lyrics, which makes every song unique, though perfectly inserted in the concept.
For this occasion there are some special guests, three former Michele’s companions: Oleg Smirnoff, Andrea “Tower” Torricini and Federico Puleri. What makes this project so special is the presence of “true” elements and instruments: acoustic drums, guitars and piano (the latter played by Luppi himself). This new band wants to combine the various experiences of his members in a brand-new music reality!
There are so many different influences in this intense work: Metal, Rock, Prog, Power, with a huge measure of Hard Rock sound. The accurate songwriting and arrangement make Killing Touch a band with several nuances and great personality, that will find its natural strength in the “live” dimension. The great on-stage experience of some members of the band has been an essential requisite for composing fresh, powerful and genuine songs. Passion, professionalism and dedication are distinctive elements of this album, that make both the musician and the composition itself stand out. The result is a unique sound (…”One of a kind”…), that is the representation of what Killing Touch are today, both at the emotional and musical level.
The Danger Zone
Killing Touch Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
God they're tracing a map with my dead zone
Hundreds of lines trying to explain the unknown
We have so many true lies going deep down our souls
[Rev. Mike Simmons:]
There's a voice locked inside... Can you heal all their lives?
Yeah, you're lost like those tears in the sand
(Shadows apart...)... Take our shadows apart?
Yeah, arise like a blue dawn again... Will you come back to me?
[Tommy:]
God, the map of my brain leads to nowhere
They X-marked the spot where future and past pass me by
No one ain't fooling myself or trying to deceive me
[Rev. Simmons:]
(All of the crimes...)... There's a voice locked inside
(All of our lives...)... Can you heal all their lives?
Yeah, you're lost like those tears in the sand
(See what's inside...)... Will you come back alive?
(Shadows apart...)... Take our shadows apart?
Yeah, arise like a blue dawn again...
[Dave "The Friendship" Maxwell:]
The Dead Zone, Tommy knows we're living in danger
In The Dead Zone, in fear forever living in danger
[Rev. Simmons:]
There's a voice locked inside... Can you heal all their lives?
You're lost like a tear in the sand
(All of the crimes...)... Will you come back alive?
(All of our lives...)... Take our shadows apart?
Arise like a blue dawn again
[Dave:]
The Dead Zone, Tommy knows we're living in danger
The Dead Zone
[Tommy:]
Yeah...
[Dave:]
Tommy knows we're living in danger
[Tommy:]
In fear we're constantly living in danger
Don't you know I tried to change events but they keep following me, yeah
[Dave:]
In the Dead Zone, in fear forever living in danger
[Tommy:]
In fear forever and I feel like a stranger
Don't you know that I feel like a stranger
[Dave:]
In the Dead Zone
[Tommy:]
In the Dead Zone
[Dave:]
Tommy knows we're living in danger
[Tommy:]
In fear we're constantly living in danger
Don't you know I tried to change events but they keep following me, yeah
[Dave:]
In the Dead Zone, in fear forever living in danger
[Tommy:]
I'm constantly, constantly living in danger
Yeah, it makes me feel like a stranger... I'm only a stranger...
[Rev. Simmons:]
(All of the crimes...)... There's a voice locked inside
(All of our lives...)... Can you heal all their lives?
(... Can you hear all their lives?)
You're lost like a tear in the sand
(See what's inside...)... Will you come back alive?
(... Will you come back alive?)
(Shadows apart...)... Take our shadows apart?
Yeah, arise like a blue dawn again
(All of the crimes...)... There's a voice locked inside
(All of our lives...)... Can you heal all their lives?
(... Can you heal all their lives?)
Yeah, you're lost like a tear in the sand
(See what's inside...)... (See what's inside...)... (Will you come back alive?)
(Shadows apart...)... Will you come back alive?... Take our shadows apart?
Yeah, these lies fall too deep in your heart... (Arise like a blue dawn again...)
The Danger Zone by Killing Touch is a song that examines the struggle of a person who feels like an outsider and is constantly living in fear. Tommy "The Touch" Wolf admits to being lost and admits he has a "dead zone" where memories of both future and past pass by without explanation. He feels his life is being traced with hundreds of lines, trying to make sense of his reality. Meanwhile, Reverend Mike Simmons implores that there is an inner voice locked inside, urging the listener to take control of their identity and heal their lives. Both Simmons and Dave "The Friendship" Maxwell continue to assert that the listener is lost like a tear in sand, and asks if they will come back alive and take their shadows apart before arising again like a blue dawn.
The lyrics of The Danger Zone are poignant, often existential, and convey the emotions of the singer with honest transparency. The song is layered and progressive, advancing through each verse and chorus, until it completes with a sense of hope with the voices all come together. The pause before the last line creates a final moment of reflection that underscores the emotional intensity of what comes before. The song addresses suicidal thoughts and the fears and uncontrolled paranoia which often follows widespread phobias.

God they're tracing a map with my dead zone
Someone is trying to understand a part of me that I consider already dead
Hundreds of lines trying to explain the unknown
They use many words to describe what they cannot fully comprehend
We have so many true lies going deep down our souls
We accept lies as if they were truth, hiding them deep within us
There's a voice locked inside... Can you heal all their lives?
There is a part of us that is silenced and needs to be heard to heal us and others
Yeah, you're lost like those tears in the sand
You feel as if you are wandering aimlessly without direction, like tears that disappear in the vastness of the sand
(See what's inside...)... Will you come back alive?
We need to face what's inside us, to come back to life
(Shadows apart...)... Take our shadows apart?
We need to separate from those things that cast darkness on our life
Yeah, arise like a blue dawn again... Will you come back to me?
Just like the dawn brings a new beginning, we need to rise and come back to a place of connection with others
God, the map of my brain leads to nowhere
No amount of analysis or study can truly comprehend my thoughts and feelings
They X-marked the spot where future and past pass me by
They pinpointed where I feel lost between what has been and what could be
No one ain't fooling myself or trying to deceive me
I am aware that no one is trying to deceive me and that I am the only one who can fool myself
The Dead Zone, Tommy knows we're living in danger
Tommy is aware that we are living in a dangerous limbo
In fear forever living in danger
We are constantly living in fear and danger
Don't you know I tried to change events but they keep following me, yeah
I attempted to alter the course of events, but they are still affecting me today
In fear forever and I feel like a stranger
I always live in fear and it makes me feel as if I don't belong
There's a voice locked inside...
Once again, there is a part of us that needs to be heard and heal us
(All of our lives...)... Can you heal all their lives?
Can we fix what is broken in our lives and in the lives of others?
Yeah, it makes me feel like a stranger... I'm only a stranger...
The fear and danger make me feel like I am not myself and like I am disconnected from everything around me
These lies fall too deep in your heart...
The lies are ingrained deep within us and affect us deeply
(Arise like a blue dawn again...)
Once more, we need to rise like the dawn and begin anew
